Healthcare Strat Mgmt and Policy September 23, 2023 Strategic alternatives are long-term plans that businesses develop to set their direction. When setting the organizational direction, the human and organizational resource availability will be considered, and the goals will be set based on the resource availability. Directional strategies are a framework used by an organization to develop the organization’s mission, vision, and goals. For example, Huntington has issues with its revenue cycle and restructuring its AR days which was 64 days, it was too high for the hospital location, payer mix, etc. There was a need for restructuring hence Jim hired Kim who had great knowledge to implement changes to decrease the AR days change morale, get to know employees, and change the lack of communication among them. Huntington’s mission and vision is “providing patient-centered, compassionate care, and being a leader in creating community well-being through world-class health care delivered with kindness and dignity.” The directional strategies are stated in the mission and vision statement which they have managed to maintain consistently. In 2012 it was named among the top performing hospitals in U.S. News and World Report. In 2022-2023 they were awarded by U.S News as one of the top best performing hospitals in COPD, prostate cancer surgery, gastroenterology and
urology, orthopedic surgery, and neurosurgery. Kim Markey was hired because there was a need for change in the business process, low morale among employees, lack of communication, and lack of trust. All these mentioned above contribute to the failure of the business process. Kim Markey understands the need for strategic alternatives to change the direction. The current actions among employees do not align with the mission and vision of the organization. “Respect, Integrity, Stewardship, Excellence, and Collaboration” are values Huntington is also known for. ( https://www.huntingtonhealth.org/about-us/ ) After the arrival of the consultants, the team was worried about their jobs but quickly realized that they were there and accepted the change that was needed in the organization. However, the consultants took notice of the lack of communication among the Medicare team which can affect the new process being successful. Kim Markey's directional and strategic alternatives are to change the culture among the employees in the business office and improve the business process. In doing so, there will be an overall improvement in the department and organization.
